In Berlin for a a two-day meeting about military policy in Libya, Mr Hague said: "We do look to other nations to increase their groundstrike capabilities in order to protect the civilian population of Libya, just as we in the United Kingdom have done over recent weeks."

While he conceded that other nations had such announcements yet, he said: "I think today's meeting has been very important in prompting other nations to think very seriously about that and we of course will be following that up in all our discussions with other countries both here at this meeting and over the coming hours and days."
